Re: PyCollada on Appimage
I can't help about the AppImage, but since you're on Ubuntu, why not use the PPA instead? It works fine with PyCollada. And, it will automatically update to the 0.18 release, once I figure out how to get past my current packaging hurdle.
FYI the AppImage is actually based on the PPA package.

Re: PyCollada on Appimage
Ok, I will give it a try. I was using appimage to avoid to have FreeCAD files spread in my environment to be able to use different versions without interference from one on another because I'm thinking in start playing with it's source code too. Maybe I'm just been unnecessarily overcautious.NormandC wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:05 pm I can't help about the AppImage, but since you're on Ubuntu, why not use the PPA instead?

Re: PyCollada on Appimage
We've already made it possible for both our PPAs (freecad-stable and freecad-daily) to cohabit with each other, each has its own executable (freecad and freecad-daily). On top of that you can have as many AppImages as you want; but only one version of FreeCAD can be run at the same time.

Hi @iogui
I can do a few tests but as for the first question. What procedure do you use to install PyCollada?

Re: PyCollada on Appimage
Hello @triplus I've just made the easiest on my ubuntu machine:
sudo apt install python-collada
But, if it is necessary to do something else to use it with an appimage I could do it. Anyway I think I will just install FreeCAD from the PPA as NormandC has suggested.
But from another point of view if it is not possible to use the pycollada with an Appimage we can say it is not completely functional even if it is an isolate and maybe uncommon use case.
I was trying to use .dae files to be able to import things from sketchup which I think can be very useful for one that wants to use FreeCAD to model furniture as I intend to do.

Re: PyCollada on Appimage
It looks like pycollada currently only supports Python 2?
Code: Select all
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages')

Re: PyCollada on Appimage
The version in the repos does only support Python 2, I've packaged a new version with Python 3 support but it's awaiting a sponsor. For now a package is available in the Community Extras PPA:
